POTSDAM -- Two accomplished alumni from SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music will return to their alma mater for a joint recital to honor the ongoing 125th anniversary celebration Tuesday, Jan. 31 at 7:30 p.m. in the Snell Music Theatre.
The concert will feature Robert Pruzin '69 on horn and Christopher Weait '62 on bassoon. Hannah Gruber will accompany Pruzin on piano and Kelly Drifmeyer will join him on French horn. Weait will be joined by Carol Lowe on bassoon.
Pruzin will perform a number of selections for horn, including "Serenade" and "Majaliwa" by Paul Basler, Samuel Douglas' "Autumnali Tempore," Gustav Mahler's "Songs of a Wayfarer" arranged by Eric Carlson, and "Ill Wind," a piece attributed to Mozart.
Weait's program will include "Etudes to Spring" by Melvin Solomon and "Sonata in D-Minor" by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. In addition, Weait will perform an original composition entitled "Ralph's Secret Weapon," which interprets a story by Steven Kellogg and includes costumes made by Weait's wife, Margaret Barstow Weait, who will also narrate the piece. This work includes a colorful cast of characters, including a sea serpent.
This concert is free, and the public is invited to attend.
